1001 Albums Summary

Great straightforward rock record with tons of memorable hooks. All songs are at least good but Live Forever, Slide Away and Supersonic really stand out to me. Oasis haven’t quite hit their peak at this point but for a debut album this is extremely impressive. Very strong 3 stars here, much closer to a 4 than a 2.

The Lady - fast paced, funky banger about an attractive lady. 70s guitar solo I’ve heard a million times (sampled on “I” off TPAB), iconic, fantastic guitar playing (funky, wah, great solos). Cool short bass solo 2 - R&B slow jam trying to get a girl to spend night. Incredible vocal performance. Piano driven with some acoustic guitar chords. 3 - low key love song, great vocals wah guitar is back, piano driven stil, vocals used as instrument towards the end 4 - break up song, voice used as instrument 5 - 6- great putto solo 7- cool staccato bass and wah guitar intro. Bass synth/fuzz line? Great guitar solo 8- sexy lead guitar line, guitar arpeggio rhythm. Changes to piano and strummed chords after intro. “Blowing through the jasmine in my mind” a bit psychedelic. Epic extended guitar solo. Fav song so far 9- piano ballad, great background vocals. Overall sound - Awaken My Love was influenced, vocals are great throughout. Fuzz guitar sound is great
